But back to Meghan. As I said, she is super famous already. All kinds of companies contact her for collabs and share her pics. Her sweet, light-coloured and lacey, flowery pictures are all over instagram and I can't stress enough how much I love them. There's so much love in each and every single photo! But furthermore have I had the chance to meet Meghan at one of the plantbased picnics in London and am now a glad girl to call her my friend! Meghan has such a delicate, sweet character! Check out her blog and you'll know what I mean!
And before we get to the recipe, of course Meghan too told me what she loves about instagramming and what her favourite foods are. She says: "I instagram becaise I love takeing the time to present my food nicely and I enjoy sharing it with people who have the same interest in health an nutrition as I do; I also like showing people that eating healthily isn't boring or difficult and that blant-based meals are super delicious! As well as the food side of things I also use Instagram as a platform to share my mental health struggles so that others who are battling the same illnesses or difficulties don't feel alone.
Choosing a favourite food is so difficult but it would be either bananas or medjool dates!"
